Profile:
He achieved modest success while playing for India but had one of
the longest first class careers for an Indian player. However Chandu
Sarwate's name will be forever linked with the famous last wicket
partnership of 249 runs with Shute Banerjee in the Indians' match
against Surrey at the Oval in 1946. He was essentially a middle order
batsman who also opened the batting for India. But in this match, he
went in at No 10 and was joined by Banerjee, the No 11 with the score
205 for nine shortly before tea on the first day. The stand was not
broken till about an hour after the start of play on the second day by
which time the duo had written themselves into the record books - it
was the only time in first class cricket that both No 10 and No 11 had
scored hundreds. Sarwate remained unbeaten with 124 while Banerjee was
out for 121. For good measure, Sarwate also captured five wickets in
the Surrey second innings.
But of course Sarwate will be remembered for many other things.
For putting on 124 runs for the first wicket with Vinoo Mankad at
Melbourne in 1948 against Lindwall, Miller, Johnston and Johnson. For
being part of the great Holkar team for several years. And for playing
in the Ranji Trophy for well over three decades and running up a
superb all round record - 4923 runs (43.18) including 12 centuries and
281 wickets (27.42). He made his debut in the national competition at
16 and by the time he called it a day he was in his 50th year. His
career highest was 246 for Holkar against Bengal in 1950-51. His best
bowling in an innings was nine for 61 for Holkar against Mysore in
1945-46. He also played one Test each against the Australian Services
team in 1945-46 and the first Commonwealth side in 1949-50. By
profession he is a fingerprint expert.(Partab Ramchand)
